Explanation

I found Mr Abouharb extremely approachable and was able to explain my procedure in detail to me using the MRI scans. He was reassuring and installed a confidence in me that I was in the hands of the very best surgical teams in Ireland. I was completely at ease going into the operation and was delighted that Mr Abouharb came in to chat with me immediately before my operation. Post op Mr Abouharb's bed side manner was exemplary explaining how the operation went and what to expect in the coming weeks. My review appointment just reaffirmed the absolute professionalism shown by Mr Abouharb. He reconfirmed the operations success and explained his backup if required. In summary an excellent surgery which has changed my life.
